Intro: Verse 

C                                          Am 
Up in the mornin', out on the job 
C             F     Dm7      C   C7M  C7 
Work like the devil for my pay 
         F         Dm7     C       C/B Fm 
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to  do 
     C     C/B   Dm7   G7   C 
But roll around heaven all day 

Melody 
C                   Am 
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids 
C               F       Dm7   C   C7M  C7 
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray 
            F         Dm7      C         C/B   Fm 
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to  do 
C      C/B     Dm7    G7       C 
But roll around heaven all day 
Am                 Em                  Dm7            C   
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining 
          Dm7          C 
Tears all in my eyes 
Am               Em              Dm7           C      
Send down that cloud with a silver lining 
     D          Dm     Dm7 G7 
And lift me to  Paradise 
C                    Am 
Show me that river, take me across 
C             F     Dm7   C C7M  C7 
Wash all my troubles  away 
           F        Dm7   Dm7/G    C     C/B    Fm  Bb9 
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing    to  do 
     C     C/B   Dm7   G7      C 
But roll around heaven all day
